Pacific Blue (1996–2000): Season 4, Episode 13 - Save Serenity - full transcript

Victor Del Toro, the Pacific Blue member who following the death of his fiancé, turned in his badge and is drowning his sorrows with alcohol. When he foils a robbery, he takes the robber's gun and is about to shoot himself, when he sees a woman. He learns that she has a daughter who was taken from by her daughter's biological father and refuses to let her see her.

determined that the
mother was a violent

alcoholic that is
a lie I never hurt

soon yeah her name
and address isn't

listed anywhere
on this and it is

bought me detective
Barron's files at

headquarters how do we get in there

[Music]

I want the shooters name now I

am the victim okay what did I do

if it was a bar
fight and you are

covering for the
guy it is felony

accessory to murder that guy popped him

in self-defense

I believe you as
soon as I hear it from

him come on man
the guy saved my life

well if you feel
more comfortable we

could talk about it
down at the station

no look he said
he used to be a cop

oh yeah she was
getting real wasted that

night he said
something happened with

his fiancee I mean
the guy is a walking

time bomb you do not want to set him off

what this guy look like

[Music]

[Music]

may I help you yes
you may del Toro

yeah sorry I didn't
recognize you you never

seen a blonde hair
Mexican sure I booked

one for hooking on
Lincoln once right on

are you doing here reinstatement

psych evaluation think

I will pull them I doubt

it there you go Thanks

[Music]

I am telling you
it is Victor the

bartender said the
shooter was a Latino

ex-cop with short bleached hair

I served side by side with Victor del

Toro for five years
I know what kind of

guy he is and seen
him in the last five

months I do not
know what kind of

guy he was before
but he is different now

there's a bomb
ready to explode in the

lobby you do not
have much time it sets

off five wait

[Music]

attention all personnel

[Music]

so what Victor
shoots somebody and

then comes in here
asking to be reinstated

the next day JC there's

bones out of headquarters they

found a suspicious package and

they need a separate car control

isn't that where Victor is right now

[Music]

[Music]

Victor is here for his psych

test I want you to find him

[Music]

sorry to bring you
guys out but we

spotted a package
in the lobby did a man

call it in no was a

woman if you can believe it

never you were
all too evolved for

this kind of nonsense
she picked it up too

okay he'd be hard to

miss I sent him upstairs

it is great he is coming back huh

false alarms we can go back in see

Victor leaves No

[Music]

[Music]

he only filled out
his name maybe that

is the only good time
to do all right slow

down there see he
could have dropped

her right there I do
not see anything he's

just carrying a jacket
you didn't drop a

thing why would
he do something like

that in the first
place lieutenant

detective Baron is here to

see you could help you I hope so

sergeant Lee said you were looking for

an ex-officer during the bomb evacuation

Victor del Toro
right he was applying

for reinstatement I
understand he had a

breakdown last year yeah his

fiancee was murdered and he

went psycho played
Russian roulette to

extract a confession
from a suspect got

suspended by ia was investigated

and cleared but
he is had a taste of

vigilante justice I get your point

I reviewed the
surveillance video I am

ruling out any civilians
who entered the

building before the
bomb threat I need

to talk to del Toro
Victor would never

have anything
to do with that tell

Toro was one of our
finest officers before

his crack-up ivan give me a call I'd

like to see what he is like now

do not you think
we should have told

them that we are
looking at Victor as a

possible suspect do you know

what that'll do to
Victor's chances of

becoming a cop again he is

guilty he will not
be a cop we will

talk to Victor first then

we'll kick it upstairs

I do not know guys
maybe we should

call a captain if we
know about something

they are hiding
what'll happen to us

oh that is good
thinking about your own

career I am thinking
about all of ours

he is a freak who
is out of control and

they are too blind to see it

[Music]

someone broke
into my desk installed

crime reports one
was the kidnapping

file on serenity you
do not think it was

comedy I am looking
at a disgruntled

ex-cop is the main suspect tell me my

new address wasn't
in that file it is in

my book look I am
sure there's nothing to

worry about here right
anyways what I am

more concerned by
is when we are playing

golf again tell me
in all right so we

are gonna take a
little pale like that one

in a red pale like
that one doing with

sand and make sand
castles so what am I

to do is doing we
are gonna go to

the beach tomorrow and make some

[Music]

I just can't believe
Victor would have

anything to do with
this woman gave the

bomb threat and
sure he'll be calling

any minute what if
he doesn't I see at

home there's got
to be somebody else

behind us the mother
may be armed and

should be considered
extremely dangerous

those are just more
lies to keep me from

seeing her prior to the kidnapping miss

Rios repeatedly
broke court restraining

orders and spoke
to the child why didn't

you tell me you were committed for a

72-hour psych hold because doctors let

me go what mother
wouldn't go crazy

knowing her child
was being hurt like

that you know
like Mark's address

anywhere or phone
number Julian Limor

less than his Gordon poorhouse

that is his lawyer
he is the one who

ruined me in court well he is

probably gone by now so we

have to pay him a visit tomorrow

why are you giving up everything

for me my daughter yeah

[Music]

[Music]

why do not you

want to I can't why not

because a woman that

I loved was murdered

[Music]

I was in the ambulance

with her and she was bleeding

and she knew she
was gonna die and even

though we are gonna
be married she made

me make a promise
to her that I'd fall

in love again and
she said that her only

regret was

[Music]

she never got a chance to say I do

[Music]

and then she died in my arms

[Music]

I realized that I made for a promise

I couldn't keep some of her last moment

I lied to her but you have the

rest of your life to
keep that promise

I need a drink you
want to come with

me that is all I lost
everything I am so

sorry I completely
forgot maybe if you

stopped you might
see that there's hope

I gave up believing
in anything after I

lost my daughter I
was walking around

dead drinking even
more I didn't even

think they could help
me but they taught

me one thing the Serenity Prayer

now that it was a
sign you know my

daughter's name it goes

god grant me the serenity to

accept the things I
cannot change the

courage to change
the things I can and

the wisdom to
know the difference

yeah you know it yes
you have been there

[Music]

I say it every day
and it is given me

hope that someday
I will be with serenity

again

but your child is still alive

I do not think that

probe will work for me

[Music]

I knew I find you here

[Music]

me and Linda always used to come here

[Music]

those last time we kissed

was the last time I felt alive

Victor do you know anything

about that bomb threat today

what are you doing

[Music]

I am saving a life

why to make up for

what happened to Linda

I know you are
still burning Victor

these still their
friends Victor I can't

let you go I thought you were my friend

I am that is why I have to stop

you so you do not
hurt anybody else

I will turtle ever gets in

my way Victor please stop

you never could shoot could you

[Music]

you were there and that Linda

was murdered and you didn't fire

I was outgunned the room was was

being sprayed I had
to protect an innocent

woman from being killed

[Music]

you protected the wrong one

I have replayed that moment

in my mind over and over again

wondering if I could

have done anything

differently

I didn't know you blame me - I am gonna

forgive you

[Music]

they just want you to come

with me so we can end all this

Paulette know
when it is time Victor

you go that way I
will have to call all

the other units stop you

[Music]

[Music]

I can't believe you didn't

tell us where you were going

how do you know
you'd be there it was

just a hunch you
should have shared it

Chris maybe two of us could have

convinced him to
turn himself in was it

Victor but looking as

the hyzers like his soul

is gone Galloway
yes sir yes sir it just

approved the arrest
warrant for Victor

what did it mean
about saving lives

probably has to do
with someone in those

files whom he was up

in your office why did he

draw the blinds wanted
a private meeting

but you left him
alone while we dealt

with that woman
do you think she has

anything to do with
this you know when I

got back up there
